Thirty-Eight Attended K. of P. Lodge Meeting Tuesday Night.

Thirty-eight members of the Knights of Pythias lodge were in attendance at the meeting Tuesday evening and much interest was taken In the announcement that 'the banquet to be held next Tuesday night will be the greatest feasting event held in recent years by the order. The Pythian Sisters have taken the contract for supplying and serving the banquet at the cost of 75 cents per plate. The banquet will be served In the armory. It is expected that upwards of a hundred members of the order will be in attendance and Keeper of Records and Seal Geo. W. Scott is receiving acceptances every day. The committee wishes to know as soon as possible how many to prepare for. G. J. Jessen was given the second degree Tuesday night. Ex-Sherfff John O’Connor, of Kniman, was in attendance. He got his dates mixed and thought that the banquet was to be served at that time. He will be back again next week, nothing preventing. Dr. Leßoy Smith visited the lodge Thursday night.
